European Union Member States have responsibility for protecting radio communications, electrical supply networks and telecommunications networks, as well as related equipment, from electromagnetic disturbance. The EU’s aim is to support its Member States in their efforts to achieve this goal, while at the same time ensuring that this equipment can be traded freely throughout the Union.
The presence of CE marking on equipment covered by the Directive on Electromagnetic Compatibility is an indication that it meets the technical requirements in place to allow it to be sold anywhere in the European Economic Area (made up of the EU countries plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) as well as in Turkey. This also applies to products manufactured in third countries.
